I know most people wants first time guys but personally its gonna take at least one heavy hitter that I collect,pretty much know were not getting the current roster so mostly guys like HBK,Trips and Edge or maybe RVD and Angle might make me change my mind. I love WCW but I can't see anyway I would throw down $400+ on it without involving guys like Sting or Pillman and we know that's not happening(well,I lied Steiners and Luger would make me buy it). Saying all that, last time when I seen the crowd fund I said no way I'm giving $250 for it and I ended up with 3. So I guess its wait and see. Maybe the Nitro Stage with the Scott/Rick Steiner and maybe the announcers table with maybe Heenan or Bischoff. If thats it,then I'm a flat out liar about can't see away ill drop that much,Steiners will make me get my debit card out in a hurry and be happy to do so lol. |

Can’t see them announcing the Steiners are signed just to reveal them in a crowd fund. Could be wrong but feels odd.

Everybody wants the Steiners and I’m pretty sure you’ll get a fair share of them before . IF they were included with the project. |

oh he’s talking about oj simpson Soon I as wrote it,I thought about OJ lol. If i'm remembering right didn't Piper/Goldie have a street fight or something involving it,could've been something completely different but I think that was it. |

I guess it is the attitude era entrance stage… with 3 or 4 ultimates I would say $400/450 If it's the attitude era Raw stage, it would be a good opportunity to get a debut UE Mankind out. I could see UE Mankind, UE Undertaker or something crazy like UE Vince. |

Look at Nitro and Raw stages from last year guys. They are clearly modular multi use kits with the only additions being lighting and and a change of soft goods/logos. I would almost guarantee it is a dual stage "Monday Night Wars" package where you are able to build either stage. It is alot of plastic too incase noone saw behind the curtain at what was holding up the screen/curtain/lights.

If your going high cost you have 2 options:
Attitude or golden era - the 2 most popular eras for the business - more fans, more nostalgia etc for those eras
1st crowdfund was new gen
Then we had the attitude ring with kane
Golden era has been conspicuous by its absence
If I was to make a prediction I’d go something golden era
Whilst I don’t think it would be it, funeral parlour would be outstanding

If it’s substantially more expensive that the New Gen Arena I’m gonna sit this one out. More power to you all who are all in. I’m trying to cut back on figure spending and I just don’t have the space for anything crazy.
I do hope its lives up to the hype though. It be cool to see the Smackdown fist, Attitude Era stage or a Hell in a Cell.

I'm worried there will be figures included that I really want. I bet this thing will be ~$500, and I don't particularly want to front that much for figures, just to try to re-sell whatever else comes with it. The New Gen was perfect for me because I wanted all 3 figures and the entrance, but knew I could sell the ring and that was that.

They didn't have large entrances, or light-up entrances, that would stand out. I ddon't know if they would sell well (or why we can't get them as another sort of exclusive) but the Giolden Era is rife with interview segments and sets: Off the top of my head: - Piper's Pit with Piper, that had multiple iterations from the simple backdrop and coffee table to the more elaborate castle looking set - Snake Pit though they just made another Jake - Funeral Parlor would be AWESOME, especially if it came with the Warrior/Kamala caskets - Brother Love show, wondering if it couldn't use parts of the parlor? - Barber Shop, easily the most elaborate of these And that's not going into the people I know aren't signed, so no: - Flower Shop with Adonis - Body Sop with Ventura They could also make the Prime Time studio, there's at least three major looks: - The classic Gorilla/Heenan desk - The talk show studio crowd (think Quakeburgers/Flair's debut era) - The discussion panel confrernce table (think when Perfect turned right before Survivor Series 92) Then there's the actual talk shows: - TNT studio - Bobby Heenan show studio. I think they could maybe reuse parts too And I've always wanted an event center with a Sean Mooney/Lord Alfred! I know there's probably not enough demand for these, especially not at crowdfund prices, but a fella can dream. I still think Piper's Pit or the Funeral Parlor, at least, would sell well as exclusives. An Ultimate piper with different heads/haircuts to cover more eras would seal that deal. One last thing I can think of is how awesome that locker room/backstage Golden Age diorama that was shown at an SDCC was. I couldn't find any pictures now, sadly :/ Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying any of these would be a sure fire runaway hit. Although I didn't think the New Gen arena would reach every goal, and it did, so what do I know. All I'm saying is there is material out there left untapped, and that I'd buy whatever got put out  |

All I'm saying is there is material out there left untapped, and that I'd buy whatever got put out Yeah, there are a lot of great options, but if they are saying it will be more expensive than the last crowdfunding project, then I don't see a single interview set as being worth that. I would love the Funeral Parlor, or Piper's pit, or the Barber Shop, but they would have to include a lot of figures for it to be worth the money. Unless they are thinking of putting all of the interview sets in one big sale: Funeral Parlor set with an UE Taker and Paul Bearer (only time you'd get a Bearer UE figure), the Piper's Pit with an UE Piper and Orndorff (only time you'd get an Orndorff UE figure), the Barber Shop with an UE Brutus Beefcake and Sid Justice (only time you'd get a Brutus UE figure), and the Snake Pit with an UE Jake the Snake and Honky Tonk Man. So you would get all four interview sets and the figures in one big sale. Some stretch goals could be extra figures and accessories for the sets, like Warrior and his casket for the Funeral Parlor set, and/or HBK and the magazine he tore up for the Barber Shop set, and/or a UE Jimmy Hart figure for the Snake Pit set (only time you'd get a Jimmy Hart UE figure). |

Any chance of a Caesar's Palace Wrestlemania IX arena? Wouldn't this be 30 years since Wrestlemania 9? Could be interesting...... with that Macho Man commentator figure..... Finkus Maximus? ..... Toga Bobby Heenan? Kona Crush??? Steiner Brothers?  The arena & decor was unique enough that it would make an interesting set.... Would there be any interest in something like this? I'm just thinking out loud here.... My vote is still for a Nitro stage. |

What if it's a Raw and Nitro stage converter, 2 in 1 deal? That would be sick. Only problem I could see is the figures that we'd get... Converter? They’re not similar designs, so I don’t know how that would work. I imagine both will be available separately (Raw this year and Nitro next year). I think the ramps looked a bit similar and some of the steel pillars. I think Mattel's engineers could make it work. I kind of hope it's not the Nitro stage this year though, even though I really want it. I'm trying to cut back on purchases. I just can't see how something like this could cost over $300, unless it has those smoke, light up pieces etc. Some of those things, I do not need. |
